naw, I know that. I mean in an upcoming trial is there any possibility that C4's will not be able to be operated on due to the phrenic nucleus? ... And approx how long do you think it will take until the separate trial for high quads can commence? I mean will I be waiting the full duration of this initial trial of patients up to C5 to complete or might the trial for upper injuries be able to Initiate within that time

It depends on when we begin this trial. When it's completed, then we can start the trial for high quads. And, money has to be raised.

The paper shows exactly what each person in the trial recovered.

The guy with C3 was 24 yrs old, 7 years post-injury. Started as an ASIA C, finished as ASIA C. Made it to KLS level IV, WISCI went from 0 - 6, Motor score went from 18-20. Touch & Pin Prick, 60-63, SCIM Score (Spinal Cord Independence Measure) remained at 40.

I mean this in a purely inquisitive way and I was never good at understanding the asia and wisci things but do those small changes in the Numbers essentially mean very little recovery? or is that good?

This was barely any recovery. Two measurements that really show recovery is a change in ASIA (A to B or C) or a big change in the SCIM score.

The only thing that I'm curious about is the Neurological Level which has to be at C5. I know this is done by performing an ASIA exam on the subject by having the subject tell the difference between Pin Prick and Light Touch sensation. What would happen if the subject meets all the criteria that are listed except when it comes to the Neurological Level the subject is determined to be C4? I'm guessing the subject would be disqualified for the trail correct? I'm asking this because some people (doctors/researches) can perform the ASIA exam very differently as one doctor might classify the subject with a C5 Neurological Level while another doctor might classify the subject with a C4 Neurological Level all depending on what spot they use to perform the exam.
